[sbe-eas] Need help identifying a IPAWS message in Arizona

[Sean Donelan]

Could you send me the photo directly (the mailing list strips 
attachments).

IPAWS messages get passed nation-wide, and many systems (cable, wireless, 
social media) have strange routings.  The individual distributors filter 
the IPAWS feed, and when their filters are wrong, will redistribute 
messages in weird ways.  It can get confusing for the public because Apps 
on phones and social media never show the 'source' of emergency messages.

That's one reason why I always recommend emergency authorities include 
the target audience in the text of the message.
